1. If you are a slammer, what got you into it, and how often do you do it? Do you have health problems from it (infections, circulation, whatever)? Where do you get your rigs - do you reuse and how often?
2. If you don't slam and never have, what would convince you to?
3. If you don't slam and have in the past, did you go back to smoking (or whatever)? Do you experience the same high?

Slammer here .

In the the first months of COVID, I was living in a new city (in the 727, now in the 904) so the only people I knew were the folks around me (where there were occasional drug raids - it was a methy place) and the people my dealer introduced me to. At my worst, 8 times a day. I cut way down after that.

Now, I may do it once or twice a week - I limit myself to when people bring me clean rigs. I will even turn down used rigs if I'm the only smoker in the room - six slammers in a room once and me passing on their used rigs (and with bleach available). I have a no sharing policy (I know of a few stealth HIV and HepC people - so no one shares here). Someone else has to provide the rigs; luckily I'm now in a pseudo relationship (friendship? idk - he's a nice boy) with a diabetic (juvenile diabetic - a rail thin diabetic - he's 34) and so I have a nice supply when he gets his insulin needles once a week.

I had to cut back for my health - I've had systemic MRSA and I have feet issues related to circulation, and I've had to get back on my BP meds (once a day).

I realized I can feel just as high smoking or whatever, but I'm addicted to the rush. The high is still achievable, I just want it all to happen RIGHT NOW.
